Aspidistra 'Cast Iron Plant'

Aspidistra (Cast Iron Plant) 🪴🛡️
A true classic and one of the toughest houseplants you’ll ever own. Nicknamed the Cast Iron Plant for good reason, Aspidistra is almost impossible to kill. Its hardy, upright leaves bring timeless greenery to your space, and it’s forgiving if you occasionally forget to water.
